Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)

The STIP is a five-year master plan of transportation projects developed by the Idaho Transportation Department in collaboration with the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in Idaho, and input from the public and other interested agencies. The plan is updated annually and shows how federal transportation funds will be used to fund a variety of transportation projects, including:

    · Highway, bridge, bicycle and pedestrian facilities
    · Highway safety
    · Air quality
    · Railroad crossing safety
    · Airports
    · Public transportation
    · Transportation planning

The planning process begins in January when the Department forecasts how much money will be available from both federal and state funds to use for transportation projects. In February these revenue forecasts go out to ITD district offices, LHTAC and MPOs, which turn recommend projects for inclusion in the STIP that could be completed with the available funding.

In June of each year, the highway program is presented to the Transportation Board along with information about how the program addresses strategic performance areas and the status of the statewide priority projects. The Board-approved highway program is incorporated into the draft multimodal STIP program. The public then has another 30-day opportunity for review.
